I am assuming you mean messages to a portable phone? If so the answer is yes, as long as sendmail is properly configured to reach the outside world. Sendmail configuration can be a pain, but if it's working then it is easy to send messages.

echo "this is my message" | /usr/lib/sendmail -v npanxx####@sms.provider.com

If you have a Cingular (formerly Southwestern Bell) phone, that would be;
echo "this is my message" | /usr/lib/sendmail cellnumber@email.swbw.com

If you want to send a flat file named my_file;
cat my_file | /usr/lib/sendmail cellnumber@email.swbw.com

The -v used in the first example will simply show you what is going on when sending from the command line and is not necessary. I would omit it in a script.

NAME
kuvert_submit - MTA wrapper for mail submission to kuvert(1) SYNOPSIS
kuvert_submit [sendmail-options] [recipients...] DESCRIPTION
Kuvert_submit submits an email either directly to sendmail(8) or enqueues it for kuvert(1) for further processing. kuvert_submit should be called by your MUA instead of your usual MTA to enable kuvert to intercept and process the outgoing mails. Please see your MUA's documentation about how to override the MTA to be used. Kuvert_submit transparently invokes "/usr/sbin/sendmail" directly if it cannot find a ~/.kuvert configuration file, or if the -bv option is given. Otherwise, it enqueues the email in the queue directory specified in the configuration file. If that fails or if the configuration file is invalid, kuvert_submit prints an error message to STDERR and terminates with exit code 1. On successful submission, kuvert_submit terminates with exit code 0. Kuvert_submit also logs messages to syslog with the facility "mail". OPTIONS
If it runs the MTA directly then kuvert_submit passes all options through to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Otherwise, it ignores all options except -f and -t (and -bv which triggers a direct sendmail pass-through). -f <emailaddress> Sets the envelope sender. Kuvert_submit passes this on to kuvert. -t Tells an MTA to use the recipients in the mail instead of any commandline arguments. If -t is not given then kuvert_submit passes the recipients from the commandline on to kuvert. FILES
~/.kuvert The configuration file read by kuvert and kuvert_submit. If not present, kuvert_submit calls /usr/sbin/sendmail directly. ~/.kuvert_queue The default queue directory. SEE ALSO
